I bought this because I went to visit a family member in the north pole (aka... very upstate NY near Canada). Being that I'm from southern California, we don't experience cold weather... So I didn't have anything suitable. Did it keep me warm? Yes. Did it keep me warm in -12F snowy weather? Yes... But also no because at some point nothing works, right? But something is better than nothing. Right? To me, anything under 55F is cold... so I was constantly freezing my butt off. Why would anyone choose to live where winters get below zero is beyond me. Fun fact about this jacket, it compressed and stowed in my carry-on suitcase quite nicely. A nice bonus. I wanted to be able to layer up with a sweatshirt or hoodie underneath. I still had plenty of room and didn't feel restricted at all. I would recommend this jacket to other people. If you don't like it, you can always return it... But for the price, I'd say it's worth the value.
